Role in the Community
- Author of the memoir 01 (TAH 故事, 2016) — life story spanning three regimes, primary material for his 1932 Chiayi origins.
- Co-author of the collective autobiography 2016, alongside 黃東昇、林靜竹、陳天令、劉惠麗、江正吉、劉宗憲、柯耀宗.
- Church community: the New Jersey Taiwanese Presbyterian church history 14. 紐澤西台美團契基督長老教會歷史 records a “Kenneth Liu” serving as 英語部主任 in the late 1990s. HOLD: conflict engineer vs clergy — the English passage styles him “Rev. Kenneth Liu … Director of the English Ministry”, inconsistent with the 劉光道 engineering career (Bechtel/PG&E/Parsons Brinckerhoff, CA); likely a different Kenneth Liu.
- Profiled in TAH Who’s Who encyclopedia 01.
- Re-verify (2026-09-25, deepen-x slice 09250500-24): fresh corpus grep returns only his own memoir 386, the collective autobiography 1046, and the NJ church history 14 — all already cited above; the Rev. Kenneth Liu HOLD stands. Nothing new absorbable.
